About this video
Here we start a series on the "essence" of theory of computing, where we talk about the limits of computers in a brief introduction. We also talk about the limits of what computers can do, and what we usually teach in the theory course. And finally we go over a simple proof that there are (vastly) more problems than can be solved by computers.
